Patna, Nov. 19 -- Jan Suraaj Party founder Prashant Kishor on Tuesday took responsibility for the party's defeat in the Bihar Assembly elections. Acknowledging that the party failed to bring about the systemic change it had promised, he announced that party leaders would observe a day-long 'maun-vrat' (silent fast) on Thursday at the Bhitiharwa Gandhi Ashram as an act of penance.
In his first media interaction after the poll results, Kishor said, "There must have been some flaw in our thinking. This responsibility is mine, and I accept it. For us, this is a time for introspection. We apologise to those whose expectations we could not meet. As atonement, we will observe a one-day collective fast on Thursday at the Bhitiharwa Ashram."Comment...
